Manager Paul Frame believes the point on Tuesday night was a good one.

“The pitch on Tuesday night was terrible,” said Frame. “It wasn’t a pitch where we could play expansive football and they were direct and defended well. We struggled to break them down but with a depleted squad and on a very tough pitch, it is a point gained rather than two dropped.”

The point lifted the Colliers to sixth in the league, one point ahead of high-spending Blyth Town who have a game in hand.

Frame added: “We have one of the easier run ins out of the top eight. Finishing sixth would be a good achievement considering the rot we had over the winter months.”

“Willington are a decent side on their day but we’ll be looking for the points. Again though, it could be a tricky pitch.”
